The machine looks like an ordinary Photomaton but uses the photograph of the spectator as the starting point for a search through the archives that Van Wichelen collected and edited.<\/p>\n<p>Contemporary algorithms link the pixels of the new photograph to an anthropometric photograph of someone from the nineteenth century. The installation confronts the viewer with the uncomfortable reality of Belgium&#8217;s violent colonial past but is also an invitation to actively search for the historical context of the image, and to report on that both factual and personal search.<\/p>\n<p>ANTJE VAN WICHELEN is a visual artist who has been working for years with experimental 16mm film techniques from the nineteenth century to unlock and edit colonial, mostly photographic, material. Her project 21C\/19C _ Procedures for Anthropometric Image Reversal investigates the collective memory of colonial classification systems. Until June 2019 she is artist in residence at the Rautenstrauch &#8211; Joest Museum in Cologne, where she will also exhibit her work. Van Wichelen is a member of LABO BxL and founder of the Greyzone Zebra Collective.<\/p>\n<p>By: Antje Van Wichelen &#038; SICV (Michael Murtaugh, Nicolas Malev\u00e9 &#038; Ellef Prests\u00e6ter) \u2013 Assistance: Brenda Bikoko \u2013 Based on the archives of: Wereldculturen (NL), Tropisch Instituut (BE), Pitt Rivers Museum (UK), Quai Branly (FR), Rautenstrauch Joest Museum \/ Kulturen der Welt K\u00f6ln (DE), KMMA (BE) \u2013 Co-production: nadine, workspacebrussels \u2013 Supported by: Constant vzw, LaboBXL, the Flemish Community Commission (VGC), Maite Morren and the Community of Elsene\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Try out of &#8220;The Recognition Machine&#8221; a collaboration with Antje van Wichelen part of working title festival at workspacebrussels 30\/11, 1 &#038; 2\/12\/2018 \u2013 12:00 > 18:00 free entrance With The Recognition Machine Antje Van Wichelen translates her years of research into photographic archives from the colonial era into an artistic-political installation.
